Black Rain (thing)

1989 action drama directed by Ridley Scott and starring Michael Douglas, Andy Garcia, Guts Ishimatsu, and Ken Takakura. Douglas and Garcia play NYPD detectives charged with delivering a yakuza man (Ishimatsu) to the police in Osaka, Japan. When they arrive at Itami, they accidentally hand him over to yakuza disguised as cops, and so they have to spend the rest of the movie getting him back, with the help of an English-speaking Osaka cop (Takakura).

As far as I know, this is the only big-ticket Hollywood movie ever made in Osaka, and it does a damn good job of showing off the city. If you're planning on a visit, I strongly recommend seeing this movie first so you'll know what to expect.
